Stephen Curry: Steph Curry stifled by Bucks, but GSW wins
Things have been not been going well for the Indiana Pacers thus far this season. His impact has lessoned.
Glenn Robinson III tried to provide an offensive spark for the Indiana Pacers.
Kevin Durant weighed in as well. The Pacers were without Paul George and Myles Turner and battling injuries.
“Those guys, they might not be 7-foot dominant force physically, but they’re athletic, they can use their length, wingspan to get up there and block shots”, Stephen Curry said. However, defensive stalwart Draymond Green was able to knock the ball away on the entry pass; deflecting it to teammate Klay Thompson, to stop the clock. “Rebounding, blocking shots, he’s doing it all. So it is different”.
Golden State has looked like the team we expected over their most recent stretch of games – and it’s scary.
Hassan Whiteside had 32 points and 13 rebounds for the Heat. They’re outscoring opponents by 30 points per 100 possessions. You can also listen onStitcher,TunneIn, and Google Play or via Audioboom below. Steve Kerr praised Durant s progress after the game.
They’re only 14 games into the regular season, but that isn’t preventing the Golden State Warriors from campaigning for an individual honor on behalf of Draymond Green.
Durant has 25 blocks this season compared to 10 in all of last season by Harrison Barnes. “We took care of the ball, we defended well, we were on point”. They only had two such blowouts previous year through 12 games. He did that to us a lot. Thompson, a streaky shooter but also a shutdown defender. But don’t count Draymond Green out in April; he wants this award.
They have Zaza Pachulia as the starting center.
During the game, Jeff Teague, who was acquired in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks over the summer, sprained his ankle. So people tend not to categorize him as a rim protector in the traditional sense. Green is now averaging 1.7 blocks per game, which would be a career-high. He s been absolutely phenomenal. “He’s in a great place”. “I believe I’m one of the better point guards in the league and he does, too, so he’s giving me the opportunity to go out there and show it”. Kevon Looney got two. That’s just about all you can ask in this kind of game. Better keep a close eye on this one.
But they cranked up the defensive effort and activity on this undefeated road trip. However, the takeaways from the 120-83 win are extremely positive.
The Pacers (7-8) matched the Warriors’ energy and intensity for 18 minutes. Green received the most first place votes for the award a year ago. Well, after a few hiccups to start out, the Dubs seem to have figured out that aspect of their defense, and are now defending the rim even better than they did last season. “We fly around and do what we can, try to cover for each other”.
